[QUOTE="davetheglitz, post: 2766, member: 173"] Thanks S.L. Yeah - thats my gut feel! :) (Sorry - generally hate smileys!!! :_| ) Regarding 537.1.4 (in new money) - this hinges on the definition of an electrical installation - an assembly of associated electrical equipment haviing co-ordinated characteristics to fulfil specific purposes. This could mean a kitchen CU, 1st floor CU, Second floor CU etc - which is not what I would have understood by a single point of isolation - i.e. supply into a domestic property. I suppose you have to allow for factories etc where this obviously wouldn't be practical - so in essence you can interpret this any way you like. I often feel that inspections are about common sense - and there are a lot of barack room lawyers out there who will qoute a regulation without any idea of its significance. As an aside to all - if you haven't got hold of it them yet Electrical Safety Council Best Practice Guide on PIRs is brilliant and is available as a download - but it didn't cover this one! [/QUOTE]
